Personally, I think those bright colors are pretty, and it's refreshing during the winter.

I don't hate the colors, I suppose, it's just that the shading on the scales is a little bit much. My plan was to shade them more than I usually would, then go over them with some acrylic washes to mellow it out and make it look somewhat glossy. It worked pretty nicely, the dragon' color is still pretty vibrant, but not so much. The wings are still mostly the same color, but with markings. He's almost done, I'll upload him later after I give him another look over.

I like colors that are fairly bright, but still sort of earth toned, not over saturated. Hence working on tan, grey and brown paper so much.

I like it so far.
